During the 1992-1996 conflict in Bosnia-Herzegovina, there were reports by various parties concerning the widespread destruction of cultural and religious heritage. In general, these reports came from the following sources: governmental organs and professional institutions in Bosnia-Herzegovina; the local religious communities; interviews with refugees conducted by humanitarian relief organizations and other non-governmental organizations; and media reports from the conflict zone. In response, the Committee on Culture and Education of the Council of Europe's Parliamentary Assembly sent a series of missions to Bosnia-Herzegovina and Croatia to collect information on the destruction by war of cultural heritage. The first of the ten information reports submitted by the Committee on this matter (Council of Europe Parliamentary Assembly Doc. 6756. 2 February 1993), characterized the destruction as "a cultural catastrophe in the heart of Europe." The deliberate destruction of cultural property in the absence of overriding military necessity is a violation of international law and those responsible for ordering and carrying out such attacks can be prosecuted for war crimes. According to the statute of the ICTY, such crimes include the "seizure of, destruction, or willful damage done to institutions dedicated to religion, charity, and education, the arts and sciences, historic monuments, and works of art and science." There is increasing awareness of the link between the systematic persecution and expulsion of ethnic and religious communities and the destruction of the cultural and religious heritage associated with the targeted community. Following the end of hostilities and the signing of the Dayton Peace Accords, it was evident that there was an urgent need to conduct an independent assessment of the damage inflicted on cultural heritage in Bosnia-Herzegovina during the conflict. However, amidst the post-war challenges of restoring security and public services, the human drama of the return of refugees, the discoveries of mass graves and other evidence of atrocities, and the urgency of providing basic necessities such as shelter, Bosnia-Herzegovina Cultural Heritage Report -- p.3 the fate of cultural heritage was not foremost among the concerns of the international organizations and governmental bodies in Bosnia-Herzegovina. The Dayton Peace Accords recognized the importance of cultural heritage in its Annex 8, which called for the establishment of a Commission to Preserve National Monuments. A Commission was set up, but it remained mired in disputes about political and procedural issues and had neither the budget nor the staff to conduct any assessments. The state institutions that had been in charge of heritage protection in Bosnia-Herzegovina before the war lost their former country-wide authority and their budgetary support, as a result of the decentralized political arrangements imposed by Dayton, and were thus in no position to carry out extensive field investigations. Soon after the end of the war, the various religious communities in Bosnia undertook efforts to document and publicize damage to their respective sacral monuments, in part to help raise funds for reconstruction. In 1997-98, the Technical Cooperation and Consultancy Programme of the Cultural Heritage Division of the Council of Europe carried out an independent field survey of selected heritage sites, in cooperation with local authorities in both entities of Bosnia-Herzegovina. The resulting survey report, "Specific Action Plan for Bosnia-Herzegovina, Preliminary Phase: Final Report (March 1999)," was designed to identify priorities for restoration, but it also provides some independent, base-line information and photographs for a number of sites. The losses inflicted upon the cultural heritage of Bosnia-Herzegovina's ethnic and religious communities during the 1992-1996 war have been widely noted, but a comprehensive, country-wide survey has yet to be carried out. In April 2002, following the presentation in court of my expert report and testimony concerning the destruction of cultural and religious heritage in the Kosovo conflict, I was approached by the Office of the Prosecutor (OTP) about the possibility of also preparing a report on the destruction of cultural and religious heritage during the war in Bosnia-Herzegovina. On 16 May 2002, I was engaged by the OTP to prepare such a report, to be based on a field investigation in Bosnia-Herzegovina. The assignment was to document damage to cultural and religious sites of the Bosnian Muslim and Bosnia-Herzegovina Cultural Heritage Report -- p.4 Bosnian Croat (Roman Catholic) communities in at least fourteen municipalities specified by the OTP and in up to five additional municipalities, time permitting. The fieldwork in Bosnia-Herzegovina, which was carried out in July 2002, was supported by the OTP, which set the terms of reference for the mission and also provided transportation, a daily fee and per diem costs. In two and a half weeks of travel in Bosnia-Herzegovina, the field survey documented patrimonial sites in nineteen municipalities. The information and photographs collected in the field, combined with documentation gathered from other sources and subsequent analysis of the resulting database, form the basis of this report. The findings and conclusions of this report are entirely those of the author. At no stage in the process did the OTP seek to exert any influence or pressure on the author regarding the methodology of this study, its findings, or its conclusions. 1.2 Survey Goals and Methodology The goal of the survey was to document cases of the deliberate destruction of cultural and religious heritage of the Bosnian Muslim and Bosnian Croat communities during the 1992-1996 war in the specified municipalities. The religious and cultural sites to be surveyed included, but were not limited to, places of worship, libraries, educational buildings and cultural sites. According to the terms of the mission, at least six sites were to be documented in each specified municipality. For most municipalities, the actual number of sites visited and documented exceeded that target. In addition to a careful inspection of each of the sites visited, an effort was made to collect pre-war and post-war photographs and other information from the local community and from other sources. In all, 392 sites were documented. 60 percent of the sites (234 sites) were inspected at first hand. For 40 percent (158 sites) the assessment is based on photographs and information obtained from other sources judged to be reliable (e.g. the local religious communities, photographs taken by ICTY investigators, the Council of Europe survey teams, local Institutes for the Protection of Monuments). When using information from external sources, only those sites were included in this survey for which there were photographs or other corroborating documentation. Whenever possible, an Bosnia-Herzegovina Cultural Heritage Report -- p.5 effort was made to corroborate survey findings by using information from multiple, independent sources. For this survey, the term "site" is used to describe a particular building or institution devoted to religious worship (such as a mosque, church, or shrine) of the specified communities, or related cultural or educational uses (archive, library, religious school, monastic establishment, or dervish lodge). All sites are identified by type and use. MUNICIPALITIES SURVEYED number of sites 1. Banja Luka 28* 2. Bijeljina 15** 3. Bosanska Krupa 15 4. Bosanski Novi 19 5. Bosanski Samac 9*** 6. Bratunac 12 7.

  • Foundations of the Ottoman Period in the Balkan
    András RIEDLMAYER* FOUNDATIONS OF THE OTTOMAN PERIOD IN THE BALKAN WARS OF THE 1990s My presentation today concerns the fate of the Ottoman-era waqf monuments and institutions in the Western Balkans during the wars of the 1990s. I will briefly outline what was destroyed and what was saved, illustrated with some examples taken from my post-war fieldwork documenting cultural destruction in Bosnia and Kosovo. I will also try to place these developments in a broader historical and cultural context. My presentation today concerns the fate of the Ottoman-era waqf monuments and institutions in the Western Balkans during the wars of the 1990s. I will briefly outline what was destroyed and what was saved, illustrated with some examples taken from my post-war fieldwork document- ing cultural destruction in Bosnia and Kosovo. I will also try to place these developments in a broader historical and cultural context.1 At the outset, I want to emphasize two facts that are well known to specialists in Ottoman his- tory, but are perhaps less well understood by the public and by the writers of school textbooks. One is that the Ottoman Empire was, almost from its beginnings, a European power, and not only in the geographic sense. [RESİM 1] For more than five centuries Rumeli, the European part of the empire, was a major center of Ottoman civilization and cultural production. Another fact we should keep in mind is that, although the Ottoman Empire was ruled by a Turk- ish dynasty, it was not a Turkish nation-state. A large part of the population of the Balkans during the period of Ottoman rule were Muslims, but the majority of Muslims in the Balkans were not ethnic Turks.

The lines of conflict in the former Yugoslavia were drawn across ethno- religious lines, leading to the use of religiously imbued rhetoric, symbols, and violence. Religious and sexual elements of violence can be mapped using mass graves, rape camps, destroyed religious buildings, and the bodies of the dead. Despite repeated dis- courses, witness statements, and images that illustrate elements of both religious vio- lence and sexual violence, there is very little literature about the Bosnian War that dis- cusses the impact religion has on sexual violence.

  • Islam and Bosnia: Conflict Resolution and Foreign Policy in Multi­Ethnic States
    This article was published in: Islam and Bosnia: Conflict Resolution and Foreign Policy in Multi­Ethnic States. Ed. Maya Shatzmiller (Montreal: McGill­Queens University Press, 2002), pp. 98­135. __________________________________________________________________________ FROM THE ASHES: THE PAST AND FUTURE OF BOSNIA'S CULTURAL HERITAGE András J. Riedlmayer (Harvard University) Barely a decade ago, in March 1992, the people of Bosnia voted for independence. In a national plebiscite, with close to two thirds of the electorate participating, voters cast their ballots almost unanimously in favor of an independent, democratic, and pluralistic Bosnia. As Bosnia's National Assembly met in the capital city of Sarajevo after the vote, more than 100,000 citizens­­­Muslims, Christians, and others­­­rallied in front of the Parliament building, holding signs and shouting in unison: "Mi smo za mir!"­­­"We are for peace!" The shouts for peace were silenced by gunshots, as Serb nationalist gunmen, concealed on the upper floors of the Holiday Inn across the street, opened fire on the crowd, killing and wounding dozens of people as they ran for cover. The date was 6 April, 1992. In the days and months that followed, the Serb­led Yugoslav People’s Army systematically bombarded Sarajevo from prepared positions on the mountains overlooking the city. Snipers with telescopic sights picked off civilians as they ran down the streets of the capital in search of food, water and shelter. [1] Thus began the assault on Bosnia­Herzegovina. From the beginning, it was characterized by two features that had little to do with legitimate military objectives: The mass expulsion of civilians driven from their homes, robbed, raped and murdered for being of the "wrong" ethnicity and religion, and The deliberate targeting and destruction of cultural, religious and historic landmarks by nationalist extremists.

  • An Investigation Into the Irregular Military Dynamics in Yugoslavia, 1992-1995
    An investigation into the irregular military dynamics in Yugoslavia, 1992-1995 Kate Ferguson Ph.D University of East Anglia School of History 97,948 This copy of the thesis has been supplied on condition that anyone who consults it is understood to recognise that its copyright rests with the author and that use of any information derived there from must be in accordance with current UK Copyright Law. In addition, any quotation or extract must include full attribution. None of the material offered here has previously been submitted by the candidate for a degree in this or any other University nor has it formed part of solely or jointly-authored publications. It is a wholly original and independent contribution. 1 Abstract This dissertation makes an original contribution to knowledge of how irregular military actors operate in modern mass atrocity crises, providing an evidence- based multi-perspective analysis of the irregular military dynamics that accom- panied the violent collapse of Yugoslavia (1991-1995). While it is broadly accep- ted that paramilitary or irregular units have been involved in practically every case of genocide in the modern world, detailed analysis of these dynamics is rare. A consequence of paramilitary participation in atrocity crises –which can be seen in academic literature, policy-making, and in popular understanding– has been to mask the continued dominance of the state in a number of violent crises where, instead of a vertically organised hierarchical structure of violence, irregular actors have comprised all or part of the military force. Here, analysis of structures of command and control, and of domestic and international net- works, presents the webs of support that enable and encourage irregular military dynamics.

  • The Limits of “Ethnic War”: Intra-Group Violence and Resistance During the Bosnian War
    The Limits of “Ethnic War”: Intra-Group Violence and Resistance during the Bosnian War Gordana Božić Thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Doctorate in Philosophy degree in Political Science School of Political Studies of Department of Political Science Faculty of Social Science University of Ottawa © Gordana Božić, Ottawa, Canada, 2018 Abstract The Bosnian war was not a purely “ethnic conflict,” as both in-group members and out-group members were sacrificed for the higher political objective, namely, ethnic homogenization of divided Bosnian territories. In particular, I argue the sacrifice of in-group members, especially those who lived on the out-territory, was integral to the violence directed against out-group members. The process of resettlement of the ethnic kin was just as important as the expulsion of the ethnic “other” for re-creating a new ethnic and political balance in select strategic areas. Furthermore, the practice of the appropriation of existing and the creation of new parallel state structures were the main mechanisms of the process of the sacrifice of in-group members from the out-territory. In turn, nationalist narratives were constructed not only to justify those new structures, but also to portray ethnic minorities as potentially dangerous and threatening. In order to complete ethnic homogenization, Bosnian nationalists directly targeted the private household, expelling Bosnians from their homes and appropriating and destroying their private property. I argue that violence against the household rendered the private sphere political. In the second part of the thesis, I reflect on actions and words of ordinary Bosnians, both in-group and out-group members, who resisted violence and helped each other during the war.
